I look forward to seeing them on r/compoface in the coming weeks.

Jesus wept. Just read an article describing this beast of a storm. 180-200mph winds and only a tiny eye at 3.5 miles across.
These people are fecking idiots.

As horrible as this hurricane is, Disney World will probably be back open by the weekend. Their infrastructure is built to withstand powerful hurricanes.
The issue is getting there right before such a storm, which seems stupid. But I guess they don’t want to lose all the money they spent on flights.
I think if it were me I would fly there, grab the hire car and then get the hell out of Florida before the storm arrives, visit somewhere else and return if safe to do so when Disney reopens – rather than write off the entire trip.

East side of Florida will be safe. There will be a storm surge as it passes back into the oceans but the dry land will majorly reduce the ferocity of the wind and thus strength of the storm surge.
BUT if anything happens, and it can, he will be a burden on first responders who could be better utilised elsewhere.
It looks like Tampa will be spared the worst possible outcome, but it will still be drowned. A large part of the state will be without power and every spare pair of hands that can help rescue will be needed. Tourists with nothing to tour are not helping.

Genuinely wondering what happens at Kennedy Soace Centre during a hurricane with their enormous 1:1 scale rocket models just standing there

Are they walking? I assumed flights would have been cancelled for the next few days.

You know what, I was waiting exactly for a post like this to come up with the Hurricane going on.

Despite some questionable farming practices the USA has some extraordinarily varied and good eating. Then there is this walking penis… “Best o’ British?”

My next door neighbour is there right now! 😕 hope they are ok!

I nominate them for the Darwin Awards. Hope they’ve got a banging thank you speech when they win.

Probably thinks worst case Nigel will personally call his “mates” in the SAS to come and rescue him so he can go full compo face in the local rag about how he expected it to be windy but not that windy. Nothing like a Brit who genuinely believes we get extreme weather in this country.

Parks will probably be open by Friday. I wouldn’t be headed for a beach on the gulf coast but there’s a bit of hysteria among people who think the whole state is going to be washed into the sea.

Wow, as a native Floridian living in England, this guy is a complete dumbass. He won’t be feeling so high and mighty about how much better Brits are at “handling adversity” when he realises he’s never been in a real storm before

Florida is full of natural beauty, and their group photo is taken in a stripmall in front of the “Best of British Pub”
Say no more …

Fair play, they look like the kind of family that would still fly out to Florida in the middle of the hurricane of the century. At least they’re living up their looks.

This is where living in a place with as benign a weather as we have will come and slap you in the face

I’d fine people like this for gross negligence. It’s totally irresponsible and you just know they’ll be seeking government help should something awful happen to them. Idiots.

That looks like the kind of face you’d expect that level of stupidity from.

Well there is no curing stupid, any travel insurance will be invalidated

Florida is a magnet for idiots. He’ll fit right in

I wonder if there’s any relationship between people flying thousands of miles to Florida despite the hurricanes and the ever increasing strength of the hurricanes themselves.

Florida does not need tourists at this time. I hate Disney obsessed people

If you asked 100 people to draw a ‘British Holiday Maker Who Ignores Hurricane Warnings’, they would all draw that guy

Tampa is on the west coast of Florida. Floridians are moving themselves to Orlando to be safe. Bloke just got himself extra money to spend on Disney Dollars once the park is open again.

Of course the publicity means the kid’s school now know they are not a granny’s funeral.

Goes to Florida during a hurricane , immediately has breakfast in a British pub. Figures.
